lovely soft light and subdued colour but just a couple of steps to the left would have improved the composition so much. At the moment you have the tree sticking out of the top of the box, by moving it would have been framed by the trees.
Very nice scene, well spotted. Great that you didn't over saturate the reds and make it look unnatural.
Nice winter image but Patricia's mod is a big improvement.
Thanks Ronnie, selective colouring is ok but not on an image that wants to portray a hoar frost.
Thanks Patricia, i didn't notice it much until after you pointed out the tree was behind, i didn't think myself it mattered too much as a gap between all the 4 main objects can make a scene too cluttered.
Thanks Cats_123, it doesn't look colder but more like the first edit, sorry.
Tahnks Sue118.
Seems we've all failed you here, Graham, and I can't help wondering what advice you where looking for by putting the image in the Crit gallery?
If you have time please do let us know as it will help me and others to understand what sort of advice is hoped for.
Best,
Patricia.
It's a good piece of cloning from Patricia, i do like it, if you do that you know yourself you know it wasn't like that, albeit i've done a few 'small' tweaks myself, who hasn't, umm thanks Ronnie though mate, i spent a while editing in Elements 8, i'ts a slow process learning but it's addictive and far far better than GIMP what i used to use.
Pau,l i can undrstand some of what you said, i have started using auto contrast lately instead of just diving to auto levels 
I used to say no no to RAW and shoot jpeg but Photoshop opens yours eyes up big time to RAW and i love it.
I do like this and I agree with Patricia's assessment and her mod works well. I considered cropping some from the left to lose the part tree trunk but that would push the phone box closer to the edge of the frame.
As the mods are not exactly what you were looking for I have tried a different approach. I felt that there was a bit of a blue cast so I warmed up the image. I then increased contrast with slight levels & curves tweaks. All this gives the image more punch and makes the phone box pop more.
I hope this is some help to you.

No Graham I only see a slight blue also, but there is no true reference point within the image to check whether white balance is right or not, so it is just an opinion. I have been "pulled" several times in the critique gallery where wb has not been right in my shots so I have started to pay more attention to it.
You were the only person there at the time of shooting so if the colours look right to you then that's fine. The mod is just an alternative.
I hope to see more of your shots in the CG.
Phil
